In their words…

“I am really enjoying my learning; having been an Operator for a number of years, I now have the opportunity to see things from both the Operator and Technician perspectives which will help me in my role when I qualify. Completing an Apprenticeship is not easy, but I am dedicated to it and am prepared to put in the hard work that I know will lead me to greater opportunities in the future.”

Harvey Nicholls, Packing Harvey Nicholls is currently completing an engineering apprenticeship

“The qualification has given me a deeper understanding of the organisation and HR’s role in achieving its vision and objectives. It has also increased my confidence, drive, and motivation. I am proud to work for an organisation that has supported me to achieve a qualification that has provided, and will continue to provide, opportunities for me to develop my career”

Lizzie FitzGerald, Human Resources Lizzie FitzGerald gained her CIPD qualification
